Summary: Essendon were able to hold off West Coast in the last Qtr to win by 8pts at Mineral Resources Park, wet conditions impacted most of the game with play being suspended in the 2nd Qtr due to lightning.

Jordan Ridley was solid in defence for the Bombers and scored at a solid rate, he recorded 21 Disposals & 7 Marks for 97pts while taking 33.3% of kick-ins.

Will Snelling scored a team high 113pts, he played as a small forward applying plenty of pressure with 7 Tackles & 2 Goals.

Devon Smith (84pts) played mostly around centre half forward in the opening half which attributed to his low scoring output, in the second half he was mostly through the midfield which elevated his scoring rate.

Smith attended 1 centre bounce attendance in the first half, his second came with 6:58 remaining in the 3rd Qtr (CBA: 29.0%).

Andrew McGrath played the majority of the game in the midfield, he worked his way through traffic well recording 24 Disposals but scored only at 0.94 PPM.

Irving Mosquito came on in the second half, he was quite busy with his limited opportunities but certainly had an impact.

Andrew Phillips spent the majority of the game at the Ruck position, he was decent early but his scoring rate slowed down in the second half.

Jacob Townsend played mostly forward in the first half which impacted his scoring output, he did increase his midfield usage in the second half. Townsend did leave the ground late in the final Qtr after appearing to hurt his knee.

Michael Hurley (48pts) did not play beyond 3QT, he was icing his calf at 3QT.
